Car description

Very original county station wagon. Ideal for classic car collector.

Like many classic Land Rovers the chassis was starting to show its age so we have carried out a frame off restoration on this Defender and then left the original body work and interior intact.

Even thoughit would have been far easier and cheaper to replace the chassis with a galvanised chassis we decided not to as it is a matching chassis/Vin number/ original enginevehicle.

It has had uprated LRI and Bilstein suspension set up along with a rear suspension anti roll/ sway bar to make create a far superior driving experience along with a full stainless steel exhaust system. These changes are reversible should a purist prefer to change it back to factory original.

Work carried out:

-Remove body from chassis for chassis work / refitting of body after chassis work

-Shot blast chassis, radius arms, axles and chassis mounting brackets

- Repair chassis corrosion, including replacement:- Rear spring mounts, bulkhead out riggers, bump stop mountings, Rear Anti roll bar mounts, station wagon body crossmember and repair sections of main chassis rails and body brackets

-Etch prime and paint chassis in satin black 2k top coat

-Etch prime and paint Axles, radius arms and suspension brackets

-Remove suspension bushes and refit with supplied super-pro bushes

-Strip clean / paint swivel housing and clean and paint rear brakes

-Adjust Swivel bearings. Replace front brake discs, pads & callipers. Replace rear brake shoes & brake cylinders.

-Replaced all suspension and all body mounting bolts and some chassis

-Replace engine camshaft using 3.9 camshaft, new followers, timing chain & sprockets.

-Repair to front to rear wiring harness

-Replace Faulty Head Light Switch

-Replace exhaust system with Double S stainless system including tubular manifolds

-Replaced 1x track rod end 1x drag link end and drop arm boot.

-Replace faulty alternator

-Replace Battery
